• Hanwha will deploy its own Q-Peak Duo Poseidon modules for the project which it says are specifically for floating PV domain

South Korean solar power company Hanwha Q Cells will develop a 41 MW floating solar power plant in its home country and plans to start construction on the project before the end of the year. Local media referring to the company statement said on completion it will be the largest floating solar power plant built at a dam.
